<< Own It >>






“There!” whispered Bruce,
“quietly look, look carefully across the tokens,”
moving aside the layers, upon layers of inexplicable densities

with his encoded hand and encrypted rolled up sleeves,
“there: ontological independence,
pure, unadulterated, ontological independence”

The words strung together probabilistically
In a copiousness of false pears being apples,
comparably to oranges being squared

Looking at them
alters their states
Gazing glazes over their skin

in a moment of systemic synthetic falseness
as close-knitted grapes with a wasp in between them,
waiting for you to gulp and be stung with its citric authority

in blinding hypnosis of a sultan’s garden
or that Eden with a snake delirious and his fixating stare
in eidetic optimism and heaped hope for you to take a bite:

“Own up to it, human,
bite me or be data bitten,
either way, median human:

own it, or be owned”
